I wonder why KDE did the opposite. Most people now get jerky video playback. Go figure.

Props to Ubuntu for doing this. Maybe now there's a chance that Google will fix their PPAPI Flash plugin that is tearing since Chrome 22 or so. They didn't care much since Ubuntu didn't unredirect fullscreen apps, hiding the Flash bug.

- Add an option to specify which windows are allowed to be unredirected
when they are fullscreen. Default: Allow unredirection on all window
types except common video players: Totem, MPlayer, Vlc or Plugin-
container (Flash or other nested browser windows). (LP: #1051802)

- Add Firefox to the unredirect exceptions. (LP: #1086337)

Flash and other plugins and also some of the video players are added to the exception list (they are still unredirected in fullscreen). You can also add manually any program to that list via CompizConfig Settings Manager it's in Composite plugin and then Unredirect Match.

What do you mean by "did the opposite"? I still have unredirected fullscreen on both Kubuntu 12.10 and Arch with KDE.

The new default is to keep fullscreen apps fully composited. Your KDE is picking up the old setting you have. If you were to create a new user, the default setting would be to composite fullscreen apps.

Oh, I knew that , but I didn't think people get so mad over a default setting that takes 10 seconds to change.
